Tess burns for revenge against Florian, but her plans crumble before they can take root. The Cocom have their own designs on Florian, working to ensure his silence about their role in the warehouse robberies that have plagued the city. Across town, Reza pieces together the truth behind the troubles at Rafe's school. The attacks stem from Diane's enemies, and Reza pushes Rafe to seek an audience with the cunning Duchess. Meanwhile, Kaab uncovers the hidden connection between Rafe and Florian, a discovery that shifts the balance of knowledge in dangerous ways. Diane herself wages war on two fronts, maneuvering to extract Basil from Aurelia's grip while intensifying her private battle against Davenant.
